Sycamore Lodge, Jackson Springs, NC

 We left Lazy Llama on October 8th and drove over to Jackson Springs, NC to spend two weeks at Sycamore Lodge. The campground is located in a pine forest and the roads and sites are all hard packed sand. The sites were nice and roomy.  Even with all of the trees our satellite dish still worked. We had to move to another site after the first week. The second site was better and the trees did not block any of the satellites.

The campground is known for the Haunted Forest they do on the weekends in October. The weekends are really busy. They also had an auction that raised a lot of money for local charities.

Greg did some fishing at the resort’s lake which is catch & release. He caught a few little Brim, but found out that the fish were conditioned to hit pieces of hotdog. No, he did not buy any hotdogs for bait.

We went into Aberdeen to shop several times. One afternoon we went to the Railhouse Brewery (Veteran Owned) (https://www.railhousebrewery.com) and had some good beer and food. While in Aberdeen, we walked around the train depot and the little city park area that was very nice.

Twin Lakes RV Resort, Cumming, GA

Image
 We overnighted on the way here at GSP RV park near Greer, SC, not much to write about. We picked Twin Lakes because of the proximity to Cheryl’s mom in Canton, GA. We stayed here from October 23 - November 5. The site we were in was basically a spot on a gravel parking lot. Cheryl’s mom did not know we were coming for a visit, so we got up Sunday morning and headed to Canton (about a 25 minute drive). Once we got to Canton we stopped and got donuts and Starbuck’s to take to Mom’s.  We sure did surprise her. When she opened the door you could tell she recognized us, but she did not understand why she was seeing us. It was a happy surprise. We had a really nice visit.  Greg went and got BBQ as Cheryl’s sister Belinda and her partner Michelle joined us. We brought Mom back to the RV, to see our home. She had not been in an RV as large as ours. It was not small like she was thinking. Greg went and got some Chinese takeout for us and it was ok. We are still looking for some g...

Happy Holiday RV Resort, Rapid City SD

Image
 July 14 - July 25 We had originally planned to spend two weeks at the FamCamp on Ellsworth AFB, but found this campground that was a better choice for seeing the sights without as much back and forth. This is an interesting park, we are wall to wall in our space. Our tow is parked beside us in the grass, ok'd by owners. There is a covered picnic shelter with two tables in between us and another site. Kind of unusual for us but not a problem either. Not all spaces have the covered picnic area. The trip to our site was very tight, the tree limbs rubbed the top of the coach and we went very slow because of the tightness. Not our favorite park but we've been at worse. We did use the laundry facilities so it wouldn't heat up our coach. There is a pool but we didn't use it. We had several extremely hot days (107F) and the breakers for our section tripped several times. The park is scheduled to have the electrical distribution  on this row repaired by an electrician. We turne...

Midway RV Park, Statesville, NC

 On our way to Princeton, WV for our medical appointments we stopped over at Midway RV Park for a few days. It was a nice park, the arrangement of the sites was a little strange. But it worked out. The park had a pool, a mini golf and big pillow type bouncing thing for the kids. So, this would be a fun place for kids in the summer. They had a nice little lake that was catch & release. Greg enjoyed the fishing.
